AP Capstone is an innovative program that allows students to engage in rigorous college-level study of the critical skills necessary for success in college. The Program of study includes a two-course sequence: AP Seminar and AP Research and four additional AP courses taken throughout grades 9-12.

Please visit College Board: AP Capstone website for more information.

The AP Seminar class will be offered as a part of our AP Language & Composition course beginning in Fall 2018. Students are expected to take this English class in their junior year.
